Thanks to Fritz123 for this one. Poured out of a 32oz crowler. Poured a dark muddy brown/black with a quickly dissapating head. Nice lacing on the glass. Smooth mouthfeel without the big overly boozy typical Imperial stout. Flavor is big roasty malts with with a light chocolate bitterness that finishes with a mellow sweetness that makes you want more. Nicely done.

On tap at Due South. Dark brown/black pour with a tan head. Roasted malt aromas. Dark roasted malts, mild coco, with just a hint of bitterness. Solid and straight forward. Not a huge body, but still an above average mouthfeel.

On draft at Due South. Pours a nice medium/ dark stout brown with a tan head. Nose is some roast with big chocolate, sweetened coffee, some light vanilla, and some sweetness. Flavor is some roast, chocolate syrup notes, some dark chocolate, some coffee, and sweetness. Medium in body and an enjoyable sipper.

Tap. Moderate to heavy malt aromas of toasted and milk chocolate, light herbs and resin for the hops, light dough for the yeast, with hints of tar and vanilla. Head is small to average size, frothy/creamy, light tan with excellent lacing and good legs and is mostly diminishing. Color is very dark brown. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly sweet and acidic and moderately to heavily bitter. Palate is on the fuller side of medium, creamy with a soft carbonation, and finishes sticky. Full and rich, but mild lasting for an Imperial Stout and the 9.1% alcohol is not even noticeable. More like a Foreign or Sweet Stout to me.

On draft at Due South. Dark pitch black pour with a frothy head. Aroma has hints of chocolate, slight vanilla and earthy hops. This one may have been a little carbonated for this style and the hops a little too up front, but that being said it’s still a pretty good imperial stout.
